I was doing photographic work for them so we met in that context. She was in her late 60 then, and a pro. She showed up in full stage makeup, worked it, was gracious, then went home. Rest in peace dear.<br /><br />TreyTMinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221261635305430323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-49444529502686378612011-01-12T17:32:43.453-06:002011-01-12T17:32:43.453-06:00Penny...Savannah also produced Emma Kelly who play...Penny...Savannah also produced Emma Kelly who played piano and sang in clubs interacting with customers requests. She played herself in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. My close friends who knew her and were raised with her children in Statesboro, Ga say that she would have a baby in the morning and play her piano performance at a club that night with the baby in a crib along with her. She was a strong personality. She died in 2001.traditionalguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706120413005530014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-26706001272429018422011-01-12T15:01:33.481-06:002011-01-12T15:01:33.481-06:00Isn&#39;t Vermont where Vito went to get his johnn...Isn&#39;t Vermont where Vito went to get his johnnycakes?<br /><br />She should have been able to figure it out from there.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-18399712073134995472011-01-12T11:57:31.785-06:002011-01-12T11:57:31.785-06:00c3

Well according to the Village Voice, that means she is not a Republican:<br /><br /><i>“Republicans don’t believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet. Human beings, who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making; Republicans, whose goal in life is to profit from disaster and who don’t give a hoot about human beings, either can’t or won’t. Which is why I personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more harm.”</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.villagevoice.com/2004-01-13/theater/foreman-s-wake-up-call/1/" rel="nofollow">Michael Feingold, Village Voice, Jan. 13 2004</a>Fred4Preshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01574159710712259945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-79625012604969880732011-01-12T02:35:12.210-06:002011-01-12T02:35:12.210-06:00You have never been to
